E85 is good for NA cars that do alot of circuit work or drifting. There are definitely performance gains to be had, albeit on a smaller scale than a boosted car, but the real benifits are on the cooling side of things.

I reckon the cooling benefits alone would be worth it for a car that spends time on the track. Every bit counts.

What was the pressure gauge reading when ya did ya runs k13th? If the gears were gone , wouldnt it be reading fk all?

First run it was reading in the normal ranges, 2nd run was a little bit low ,but not so low that it was outside normal range... just didnt "rise" like it normally would when you apply full throttle. Either way, didnt have a long look at the gauge whilst it was going down the strip.

Ok k31th , anyways sorry to read about the motor.

About e85 , we were looking at switching from av to it in our rx7 sports sedan , but being a space frame we would have to cut the car up to fit a bigger fuel tank for 85. Plus the extra weight to carry more fuel out ways the hp gain a lil. Every gram counts with only 300hp. But the na cars running it are making great power.

Lol fair amount of drivers on the road down here on the 1pt for 12months option..

[Never had any say Panda]

Stuff that.. Up here we get a choice of 1 point for 12 months and risk losing the license for up to a year.. Or we get 3 months off.. I'd probably take the 3 months.. Safer..

It is similar here. We get the option to surrender our license for 3 months, or continue with 1 point for 12 months and if fined you lose it for 6 months.

[Shyfrd]

Yep I did that SDP..I had already done 6months so another 3 was nothing..only thing it was over summer lol. Plus you get all your points back after either option. Personally I would want my points back asap..but that's just me lol. + didn't trust myself on 1pt for a whole year..only need to be 4kmh over and bye bye..

[_Velocity_]

Exactly the same for me Shy. After 6 months off, 3 more is easy. Especially if you have a girlfriend that can taxi you about.

Has Henz brothers N/A been tuned on e85 yet ? he might be able to shed some light on if its worth it or not on a N/A

It picked up about 25 over the whole rev range.

A stock BA was in there same day and made 130...

It's also giving rewards like LPG, ie 14-15L/ 100km @ under $1L compared to 12-13 @ $1.60+
